Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spear_smi: Fix nonalignment not handled in memcpy_toio
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2019 16:36:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191018143643.29676-1-miquel.raynal@bootlin.com> (raw)
Any write with either dd or flashcp to a device driven by the
spear_smi.c driver will pass through the spear_smi_cpy_toio()
function. This function will get called for chunks of up to 256 bytes.
If the amount of data is smaller, we may have a problem if the data
length is not 4-byte aligned. In this situation, the kernel panics
during the memcpy:
# dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1001 count=1 of=/dev/mtd6
spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070000, src c7be8800, len 256
spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070100, src c7be8900, len 256
spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070200, src c7be8a00, len 256
spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070300, src c7be8b00, len 233
Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x808) at 0xc90703e8
[...]
PC is at memcpy+0xcc/0x330
Workaround this issue by using the alternate _memcpy_toio() method
which at least does not present the same problem.

Hello,
This patch could not be tested with a mainline kernel (only compiled)
but was tested with a stable 4.14.x kernel. I have really no idea why
memcpy fails in this situation that's why I propose this workaround
but I bet there is something deeper not working.
Thanks,
Miquèl
